We got in Friday night and waited at the cargo area wanting to see Phil go off to the funeral home. The next few days seem like a blur, just barely making it. Every time I thought that I wasn't going to make it, someone would tell me the Lord's grace would help me through it. And sure enough, the Lord is good in all He does and here I am the day after burying my husband sitting in the living room of my new family feeling amazing amount of peace.
The visitation was amazing. I was so nervous at first, feeling sick to my stomach, not knowing if I would make it, but the Lord is good. I hugged hundreds of people and laughed with many people about the memories of my crazy husband. The Lord is good.
The service was incredible. Pastor R did such a great job!!! P would be so proud!!!!! Everyone who spoke, wrote a letter, and was a part of the service... THANK YOU!!!
A and I are still on jet lag so I can't remember everything right now... but all I want to say is, I thought so many times that I wasn't going to make it, but just as the verse on the wall of Bethel... My Grace is Sufficient for Thee. It was there when P first attended there, when we got married, when we left for Indo and when we had P's service. What a great verse for P, for us as a couple and now for A and I as we start our lives here.
There'll be more soon as soon as I could get some good sleep and really get my thoughts straight.
One thing I do want to say is how much I appreciate the love and prayers from all around the world.
A and I love you all and ask that you continually lift us up as we adjust to time change, the US, family life just the two of us, and schedule.
